Need some actions gifs? I recommend Danball senki. It's a pretty neat anime, and has some pretty memorable fights. Not really a whole lot of gifs, so you'll have to make some. However, I did manage to wrestle these ones from Google images.

"Super durable cardboard." Welp. That's now on my list of shows I need to check out. Thanks for the tip.

And now a gif that I don't have an explanation for, but it freaks me out and I want to use it so I never have to see it again in regards to my gif posting rules. If someone finds a use for it besides "lol Goliath Scorpion", or "This is why you clean the Iron Wombs regularly", I will applaud them. Cause to me it's just deeply unsettling.

I dunno, MFW I find a legged light mech? The fever dreams of someone who has been playing solely pubs at T5 for years? Reverse footage of what rapid depressurization does? I dunno, but good riddance.

Now for a normal gif.

The brain of a pub player after being informed LRMs aren't OP, and are easily counterable.

Hmmmm. I'll check that out. Might see some that I haven't already gotten.

I made a huge mistake in posting a large amount of my gif collection in that compilation Imgur post a little while back. Suddenly, most of my sources are posting gifs that were very obviously taken directly from my image dump. </3 So I either need to find new sources, or finally get off my rear and watch some new anime to make my own fresh material. (Might as well mention, still willing to make any gifs upon request from an anime, as long as they're SFW and you give details on when the scene happens)

No problem. FYI, there are 3 seasons, and the two gifs I posted are from the 3rd and 2nd respectively.

This is a gif thread, not a plain image thread. That's a jpg, not a gif. I take this thread very seriously, and you should too.

I recently got myself a Huntsman, and even though I love her to bits, I can't spread damage at all in her. Everytime I try, people still hit the CT consistently, especially with LRMs. Any advice?

It's all about the twist!


You don't need to torso twist much to present your arm to the enemy, and your side torsos take up a lot of the area that your arms don't. Also pretty sure it has a little bit of Centurion ghost arm syndrome going on in regards to the shoulder joint, where even after it's dead, it is still damage padding. LRMs, my secret is to git gud and rely on terrain, not countermeasures. (Which, incidentally, is probably why that AMS being low in ammo doesn't bother me. I only used it to soak up tonnage, and it's a side perk.) You can also flutter your jump jets as you move. It causes the mech to hop and skip a little more, which can assist on the damage spread.

Additionally, I abuse the hell out of the hardpoint placement and my jump jets. I'm humping a building, and want to peek to the left side? I barley expose and fire my left mounted guns. There's a hill in front of me? I poptart up just enough to clear terrain, and unload my torso guns before dropping down. Even if I am only within 400 meters of the target. Minimal exposure = maximum survivability, of course.

What I find does not seem to increase survivability in a HMN, however, is duct taping yourself next to a larger mech. I mean to say, I still seem to take a lot of fire, even if an assault mech is standing three feet away from me. If I am standing next to a Nova, however, RIP Nova. Apparently too many people got the bad touch from ERSLas and SPLas, and held a grudge.

While I occasionally do get cored out, because that CT is rather large head on, I typically find I lose both arms, at least one side torso, and often a leg before I am taken down. It smears damage like a baby smearing cake all over its face.
